AEarlier this month, California police cleared what was said to be the largest homeless encampment in the United States. About 200 homeless people were living at the camp in San Jose, California. Officials said police officers and city workers acted because the area was unclean.The homeless people were living near Silicon Valley, the country's high technology center. Some people there have made millions, even billions of dollars from high-tech devices and services. But others have no money and no place to live.Federal officials believe there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people nationwide on any given day. Each one lacks a permanent place to live. Reasons for homelessness can include the high cost of housing, poverty and unemployment. Other reasons are mental health problems and just plain bad luck.In Los Angeles, a group called PATH searches along flood channels and major roads for homeless camps.. Its workers look for people who have no permanent shelter.Jorge Guzman was one of the people hoping to help the homeless. He says they make their camps where they are not seen -- behind buildings or in forests or parks."They just don't want to be noticed. They're doing their thing out here and, you know, they're just trying to survive."City workers periodically clear away small trees and plants, uncovering homeless campers. Workersin Whittier try to move people out of homeless camps and into a home of their own. But housing is costly. Still, worker Tomasz says he has been able to help some people."It's really good to see the steps when people are leaving their encampments and they're transitioning to either transitional housing, and after when they obtain their own housing."But there are many other homeless people still living on the streets or in camps, moving when their campsites are taken down.26.

In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers. Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digitaltechnology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.31.

Why some languages are dying out?A. Because some people are ashamed of their native language.B. Because the local people are forbidden to use them.C. Because the global languages are widely used .D.

Document, protect and reconnect.34. Which of the following may be useful in Turin’s work?A. Cameras and radios.B. Recorders and computers.C. Telescopes and TVs.D. Telephones and fax.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Some scientists are trying to rescue disappearing languages.B. Some languages are becoming extinct.C. There are various languages in the world.D. Not all languages are in use.CTexas Tiddlers Road Endurance RunAn opportunity for you to ride and compete with other enthusiasts of small displacement motorcycles. 200 miles of beautiful East Texas back roads starting and finishing at the Boles Field Recreational Area in the Sabine National Forest near Shelbyville, Texas with a rest stop and lunch at Sawmill Town USA in Newton, Texas.
